Be honest how productive are you? You probably waste more time during your workday than you do work. Not every day, you might even have very productive weeks, but think over a year how many hours you "waste" on taking breaks to read HackerNews or Reddit or make a Tweet or whatever.
You could spend that time fixing issues with your editor and that would lead to improved workflow when you get back to work.
And in my mind you should use your work time to improve yourself and your tools. From the day I started I decide that I wanted to be the best at what I do and I can't get there if I just do the work. So every day from the day I started working I've taken 30-60 minutes per day from my actual working time to improve. Be it learning something new or configuring my tools (editor, terminal, operating system, browser, whatever). And no employer has complained about my output nor should they since they are getting better output for the same investment.

Lol. Except for the odd day a month, I have worked every single day for the last 2 years (July 15 2021, when I started an internship at FB). I'm in a PhD program and I have a 20-30 hour/week job during the academic year and full-time internships during summers.
